The Internet boom has
brought us to the stage where we're experiencing a mobile application boom. And
as any technology goes, Internet, mobiles, and mobile applications - none of
these can survive without a continuous progression into something new,
extraordinary, i.e. something that nudges it forward.
With the need to
create more and more advanced custom apps, the subsequent need to hire Android
app developers who have an eye for what's in-trend and also brilliant has
increased as well.
While these developers
are doing an awesome job of it, let us take a look at what is catching their
eye as some of the most promising trends in Android app development today:
Wearable Devices
Wearable has changed
our lives today. Just when we thought that making portable technology would be
amazing, wearable took portability of technology, and therefore Android app
development to new heights. Whether it's healthcare brands, or more popularly
sports and fitness brands around us - wearable with various sensors have come
to be really common.
And then there are
apps that support such devices. These apps are designed in a way that their
algorithm works in tandem with the wearable device, giving you the outcome or
the information that you were looking for, directly on your mobile screen.
Android app developers are therefore almost always keen to work with such
technology.
Beacon Technology
One of the more
amazing uses of what was initially available only for the iOS devices, Beacon
Technology is now being created by almost every Android App Development Company
out there. It's a recent trend that is gaining its footing quite impressively
in the whole scheme of Android app development.
One of the most
recognized features of this technology is being able to easily track a location
and its multi-functionality. Some of the best-found uses for Beacon technology
have been, detecting any sort of danger, in hotels instead of the traditional
hotel room keys, to upgrade customer connections at airports by some airline
companies, detecting a temperature of a particular place, and even by some of
the biggest players in the retail industry.
Augmented Reality and
Virtual Reality
Such is the hype of AR
and VR today, that people are looking to specially hire Android app developers,
in turn making mobile app technology reach for even greater heights. The hype
though, we can never say, is for nothing. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality
have really been a cornerstone of the technology as we use today.
With VR, you can
create a whole new kind of reality for the end users. It's a cutting edge
technology that lets a person feel a situation just like real life, through
their hearing and vision being stimulated. It's being heavily used in fields
like movies (to make 3D movies), games, entertainment, flight simulators for
pilots, and so on. AR, on the other hand, stimulates the sense of hearing,
feeling, and smelling in a person, making them a bit confused on what's real
and what's not.
Android app
development, therefore, has found a use for AR in various fields, like games,
video making, and even medical field to help treat PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder) or conduct remote surgeries, and such.
Instant Apps
We also have instant
apps developed by the Android app developers at Google. Haven't you ever needed
an app for only a short time amount of time till you get a specific thing done,
and then the app keeps sitting there and eating your phone memory for no reason
at all.
With this instant app technology, you will be able to download just a part of
the app that you need, instead of the whole application, with just one simple
click. It will be similar to how the whole website doesn't get loaded; only a
web page does, at a time.
In-App Payments
We are moving towards
becoming a cashless society. And when every website today also indulges itself
in getting its mobile app made, how can Android app developers around us not
think of in-app payments? E-commerce and apps go hand-in-hand today and
therefore online payments are an extremely important part of Android app
development process.
Plus, with Google's
new Android Pay, the sellers and buyers both will be benefitted. Especially the
security feature of this app is being considered better than most, and
therefore a big advantage is being seen as users saving their personal details
including credit/debit card details without any apprehension.
Android app development has never been about just the tried and tested methods or
ideas; it's always been about innovation, uniqueness, and regular updating of
the present apps. And like every year, this year too has managed to see the
Android technology advance to new and higher levels, satisfying easily the broadest
clientele across the g
